WHEN IT COMES TO INTRODUCING YOUR BABY'S FIRST SOLID FOOD, TIMING IS EVERYTHING. RUSHING THIS MILESTONE OR DELAYING IT COULD RAISE THE RISK OF CERTAIN HEALTH PROBLEMS.

Talk about multi-tasking. Police in China recently pulled over a young mother for breastfeeding while driving a moped.

The woman was weaving in and out of traffic in Yuzhou when her 18-month-old son started crying, according to the Huffington Post.

Police threatened to confiscate the woman's moped if she continued to breastfeed while driving.
